Section 16. Retaliatory Evictions.--Any action by a manufactured home community owner or operator to recover possession of real property from a manufactured home community lessee or to change the lease within six months of a lessee's assertion of rights under this act or any other legal right shall raise a presumption that such action constitutes a retaliatory and unlawful eviction by the owner or operator and is in violation of this act. Such a presumption may be rebutted by competent evidence presented in any appropriate court of initial jurisdiction within the Commonwealth.
